One comment to the article said that the Tom Clancy books should get more points because they are longer with more characters than a Shakespeare play. To which I say "Brevity is the soul of wit."

This bothers me because it is merely another example of the way educators want to dumb down education to make it "accessible." Why in education do we want to avoid challenging people, when in the business world and in sports we laud challenging and competition as the way to success?
